Nikhil Ramesh Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hello Everyone, I had my H1B stamping interview at the Chennai Consulate. Was issued a 221g(blue) asking for client details and tax docs for the company I am actually a full time employee at a tech company in the Bay Area that sells software to customers, i as a consultant travel to the customer site 10% of the time for workshops,trainings. I do not work for a staffing agency. The lawyers have submitted docs to justify the same and also the bonafides of the company like the in-house product details and documents to show that we have a physical office space. Has anybody faced this? What would be the resolution time given the details on the case Any help is appreciated Thanks Link to comment
Provence Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 The consulate would get back to you once they've made a decision. All cases are independent and others timelines are rather moot. Link to comment

They want to be 100% sure about the documentation submitted. Link to comment

Krishna.jira7 Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Can you tell the questions asked and what all the other documents they asked..? Link to comment
Nikhil Ramesh Posted January 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Guys just a question, the VO asked for tax docs for the company but the attorneys have submitted funding details for the startup and utility bills to show that we have a physical office space. Will these docs suffice since the idea behind submitting the tax docs is to show the bonafides of the company? Link to comment

Hope this helps Link to comment
